English Language Center: Los Angeles Cambridge First Certificate (11 weeks) These 30-lesson-per-week courses are intensive programs limited to those students who will take the exams immediately following the courses. Both ELC locations offer 8-week and 11-week FCE and CAE Preparation Courses twice per year. Maximum class size is 12 students. All students must successfully pass a pre-test in order to participate in these courses. Students enrolled in the 8-week course join the 11-week course in progress. The First Certificate in English (FCE) is the most widely recognized proof of language ability at the upper intermediate level. The preparation program is designed to provide intensive study for the FCE examination. The FCE program is only open to students with an intermediate to advanced level of English. Upon enrollment in this course, each student will be asked to complete a pre-departure exam provided by ELC and return it to ELC. This test will allow ELC to evaluate the student’s readiness for the FCE course prior to their departure for the United States. After arriving at ELC, the student must take and pass a similar exam in order to participate in this course. Students in the FCE Course focus on all skill areas of the examination and use a variety of materials to improve their accuracy and fluency. Mock tests are administered periodically to simulate the final exam, which is given the week after the course ends. Test preparation 53889 .

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying full time in the United States for more than 18 hours per week, you will receive an I-20 that you need to submit to the US embassy along with your F-1 student visa application. The I-20 has a SEVIS tracking number on it. Students who wish to apply for a student visa must pay the SEVIS fee online before going to the US embassy or consulate for their visa interview.

Your I-20 will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged $75 when you register.

Please note that United States law states that an I-20 can only be issued to students who intend to pursue full-time English language studies. United States law does not permit students to study part-time with an F-1 Student Visa. If you are studying for less than 18 hours per week, you have to apply for a Visitor Visa (B1/B2) on your own.
